Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NGADM 2019 Finale Show]

Congrats to the winners!

Also sponsors! NGADM moving up in the world! :D The transition music felt like ending music each time that came in, but other than that this felt both well-paced and structured all the way. Fun to hear what you all sound like, inspiring to hear how passionate you all are about the craft too, and what an Inspiring impromptu speech to end it all! It really was a special occasion.

Wonder how many new people might stumble into the NGADM world with this too... nice incentive.

[{!RGH} The Day After]

The style's a bit different, but the atmosphere overall really reminds me of the classic DOOM tracks. Walking through the barren lands of Deimos, shores of hell, all those mysterious and infernal grounds... really cool vibe. In difference from GB I feel like the repetition really adds to it, and helps it build... it's captivating that way, and not too slow to feel dull. Like a journey. Like a challenge. Like a strange place...

Really cool.

I just watched the new DOOM movie on Netflix last night. It was fun, but pretty "meh"

This review, on the other hand, is stellar. I had to read this out loud to a few folks, because hell yea...you picked up what I was putting down.

[Bird Shaq]

Trippy, jazzy, creative... not bad! I like the vibe. Bit high end loudness though.

[rudolf teh red-noosed raindear]

Ah you're still going with these guys! XD I'm just seeing two author credits though but this sounds like a lot of y'all... multiple littlbox layers? Not bad yo. Skit and all in the midst of it.

[808.FLEX]

So much sparkle, man! :D How can you possibly be flexin' in such a bright and positive way as such. Awesome stuff.

[Exoplanet]

This wasn't bad, man! I love the echo effect on the background voices, in the beginning especially, and the main synth melody that joins in every once in a while, climbing up and down; reminding me of old 8bit boss battles... the build up's good, the pace is rythmic and easy to vibe to, the main phrase is catchy too... I might have the wrong impression of trap music, but I always considered it more of a structure of rap than of dance/trance music, which this seems to be. But not bad. Good melody, good variation; thorough quality.

GameBalance responds:

Well. I could not think of category to label it other than trap. It also can be described as alternative or indie electronic I guess.

[Winter Wonderland Cover]

Some real littlbox style outro too. XD Hmm. If y'all actually went into this seriously though, you know, potential, it really just comes down to that sync thing...

[Duncan & Jones 2 - Ultimate Move]

That one pew sound that doesn't really fade along with the rest of the waveform at the end of it... was that maybe an intentional anomaly? It is pretty cool, this one. Different. The name doesn't really seem to match the ambiance but it certainly worked with the animation.

[Inevitable]

Was just waiting for that dubstep drop but it never really happened... seems a bit more like Trance or Dance to me? With refreshingly traditional and dreamy bits in between, like the kind of tunes you'd hear in a tavern... varied, clean; very pleasing to listen to overall. Smooth work.
